It was another nice late-summer weekend in these parts and we spent
considerable time outdoors. I still managed to wade into several state
QSO party events. I worked 20 of the 1x1 stations in the Kansas QSO
Party and managed a dozen more in the Ohio QSO Party. All on phone.

Also worked a handful of Hawaiian stations on 40 phone. One fellow was
located on some island in the Phillipines an hour south of Manila who
was running his station in Hawaii remotely.

I wouldn’t have known had he not told me. Interesting!

I’m not certain I’ll send my scores for these. I hadn’t planned a
serious effort in any of the three and only spent a few minutes picking
off the loudest stations. Still, I enjoy and try to support these State
QP’s as they keep the bands busy and the service humming.
